Baloch online Campaigners

An open letter to the People’s Republic of China

The Association of Baloch Activists in social media all over the world, after thorough deliberation, concluded that the China’s support to Pakistan against the wishes of Baloch people is tantamount to the same Pakistani aggression that it committed on March 27th 1948 by occupying state of Balochistan against the will of Baloch nation at the behest of the then British Empire.

China’s unsolicited militaristic presence in Balochistan and the loot of Baloch natural resources are the reminiscent of the second war ‘Great Game’ of which the Baloch people became a victim and lost their sovereignty to British and Pakistani aggression. This time around the encirclement of Balochistan’s strategic ports in the so called String of Pearls – Chinese sphere of influence in Asia – leaves no doubt that the very existence of Baloch nation is going to be at the mercy of Communist China’s great interests in the region.

As an occupied and oppressed nation, Baloch people have no option other than to protest and resist. Therefore, Baloch political leadership have, in their countless policy statements, constantly reminded China and other countries that, while Balochistan is under occupation, no foreign capital investment and military presence in Balochistan is acceptable to Baloch nation unless and until Balochistan’s sovereignty is restored and recognised. Baloch nation will continue to protest and resist against foreign occupation and countries that are willing to exploit Balochistan by signing deals with Pakistan disregarding the Baloch. All such international or regional agreement are illegal, immoral and unethical until Balochistan will not regain its political independence.

Baloch, as a secular nation believing in democratic values does recognise China’s universal rights to investment in Balochistan only in normal condition mutual understanding – when it recognises Balochistan as an independent sovereign state.

We would like to remind international community and democratic powers that Punjab led Pakistani army has been perpetrating the worst crime of Baloch genocide on daily basis in Balochistan since the day when current phase of Baloch resistance began in 1999. The Chinese government is also involve in genocide in Tibet where they have murdered thousands of innocent people. Now both criminal states have joined their hands against the people of Balochistan.

The Association of Baloch Activists, representing the collective voice of Baloch people, through social media activism regards China’s collaboration with Pakistan a conspiracy against Baloch freedom movement and a possible Tibet style demographic change in Balochistan. Hence we urge the United States of America, NATO, United Nations, India and European Union to stop China’s Long March to Balochistan and force China to withdraw its companies from Balochistan and stop encirclement of Baloch waters and ports because China’s strategic interests in Balochistan are in sharp contrast to Baloch and regional interest.
